Hello everyone! I have been browsing this site for awhile, and have finally deci

[JPurcell]

I'm no good at intros, but here we go.
My name is Jacq, I'm 19 goin on 20, and I am a FTM trans. It feels wierd to say that, because to everyone I know, I am just a very masculine lesbian. I haven't "come out" as trans to anyone but my girlfriend, who seems to be halfway supportive, but is hesitant about the transition I will eventually be going through.

I was born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan (you may know it from being the crime capital of the US) but I recently got out for my own well being. In my free times I play guitar and write music, and draw somewhat decently. I also love playing video games! Mainly old ones.

I am happy to be part of this website and can't wait to hear from like minded individuals. -JP

HI JP.

[Pica Pica]

Bonjour Jacq

I moved last week to Harlesden, which at the beginning of the millennium had the highest murder rate in the UK (though it'a been knocked off it's perch since). Have to say, I like the area very much, but I teach kids here and know many people as I walk around.

I'm not exactly monarch of the video games meself, but I may have been able to thrash you at worms 2.

Hi JP,

Welcome to Susan's. Speaking of playing guitar and writing music, Kid Rock is also from Michigan!

So is Regan... 

Actually Kid Rock and I lived in the same county and Eminem actually lived about a mile from me for a while.  Story is he got tired of people throwing M&M wrappers on his law an moved to a gated community. 

[Pica Pica]

Talking of m&m's.



Is the closest thing to hell on Earth.

I never want to see an m&m or an m&m themed anything.

Hey everyone I would love to share some of my music with you guys, I just have to get a chance to upload it.

And yes, sadly Eminem and Kid Rock are from MI. I don't care much for either but I know Stevie Wonder is from Saginaw. And Madonna is from Bay City which isn't too far past Saginaw.  I do like Stevie Wonder but not so much Madonna haha. I'm into a lot of different kinds of music though, like reggae, punk, and Nintendocore (you might have to look that up haha). 

A lot of people are afraid to live in Saginaw and places like Detroit but I had always felt safe there, even at night. Where is everybody from?

[regan]

Madonna is from Rochester Hills.  My ex's aunt was her principal.

Well dang, I got it all messed up haha. That's cool though, it's  a pretty small world. What part of MI are you from Regan?

I grew up around the Detroit area, spent the summers in Traverse City and went to college in the UP.  Basically, there isn't a part of Michigan I haven't been to... 

I live in the Atlanta (GA) suburbs now.

Welcome aboard Jacq. Lots of good things here and good people to discuss things with.

I am about as far from you as it is possible to get, northern Victoria, Australia( "not a lot happens here" capital), but will be moving even further south to Tasmania in a couple of weeks. Getting as far away from everywhere else as I can?

As you can see by my avatar I play bass, and also have a go at steel and slide .  Currently  rediscovering 60's Folk-Rock on a new 12 string.

Pica, that is just so wrong on so many levels! It's evil.
